Hi guys!

In TiddlyWiki files I can not use macro. All is gone, I don't know why.
I copiede the Documentation Macros tiddler form the homepage to my TiddlyWiki, but I see nothing. The last  columns is empty in my TiddlyWiki. Can I install something special or what happening?
I try to use under firefox with the TiddlyFox! extension but all macros is gone. I am using the last wersion 5.1.13, under Debian, and Win7 I have got the same problem with both operating system.
Do you know any solution for my problem?

Hi Attila. If all macros are gone then I doubt TW would work at all, so I'm guessing your problem only concerns the "Documentation Macros" that you mention. For example, you can see if, say, the version macro works by typing in <<version>> and you will hopefully see 5.1.13.

Merely installing the documentation macros does not mean you've installed the actual documentation texts. Is that what you were trying?

Hi Attila,

  1. Does the same process also fail on an empty TiddlyWiki?
  2. Did you try to remove the offending tiddler?
  3. Otherwise, drag your wiki onto the ugrader on TiddlyWiki.com and deselect that one, then import and download.
Once your wiki is working again as expected, try to reproduce step by step, precisely what you did and how and let us know at what point it breaks.

Best wishes,

Tobias.

Hi Tobias & Mat!

Thank you for your help guys.

So, the <<version>> macro is working. Answer: 5.1.13 :-) But this is the first one, what is working on my Tiddlys. - Thank's Mat.

I try to do a fresh start:

1. I downloaded the tiddler form the homepage. - Getting Started tiddler, the I used the "Download Empty" button/version.
2. I tryed to chek the core macros I find nothing. <<list-links "[tag[Core Macros]]">> - <<version>> is working
3. From the Getting started tiddler there is a "Download Full Wiki" button, I tryed with this. - there is working <<version>> and <<list-links "[tag[Core Macros]]">> too.

So, the core macros are missing from the normal download link. :-(

The question is, how can I install these "core macros" in to the normal (Not Full) wiki? I have to write one to one for myself?
And how can I check what macros installed in to my wiki? Maybe <<list-links "[tag[Macros]]">> is a good choise, but is not working only in the full version.

best,
Attila

Hi Attila,

I believe you are confusing the documentation for those macros and the macros themselves. ;-)

Simply start using them as documented on TiddlyWiki.com.

Best wishes,

Tobias.
